Trivia

  • In the popular pixel avatar site Gaia online, there is an obtainable item know as Roto's Hat. This item's second pose allows the avatar of the site to wear a hat identical to Johnny's, cleverly named Joey's hat. There is also an item called K.O. Star, one of the poses of which allows you to wear gloves similar to the Roto Hat's second pose. There is a secret pose which allows you to shoot fingernail bullets, as well.
  • Johnny is the only Joestar in the entire series to have naturally blond hair.
  • He and Jolyne are the only two JoJos who did not defeat the final villain of their respective series. However, Johnny defeated Valentine, the main antagonist of Steel Ball Run, unlike Jolyne, who was sent to a frame of time that was accelerated by Pucci.
  • In the first chapter, his name is written in Japanese as "ジョニー", whereas from the second chapter on, it is written as "ジョニィ". Both have the same pronunciation, however.
  • Interestingly enough, when Johnny and Gyro shared their most important secrets to each other, Johnny had revealed that he had Formicophilia, aka a fetish for a person with bug bites.
  • Johnny's name might be a reference of Chuck Berry's song Johnny B. Goode: an evidence of this could be the fact that in Chapter 30 of Steel Ball Run, Gyro prompts Johnny to run several times by shouting "Go, Johnny, go!" like in the song's chorus. Whether this was intentional, however, is not known.
  • Johnny's future wife, Rina, bears a name that is a shortened version of Erina, the name of Jonathan Joestar's wife in the original timeline.
  • He is only ever shown smiling only five times.
  • Johnny's and Jonathan's deaths are similar, as both of them die at a young age, both die unaturally (Jonathan's neck was pierced by Dio and Johnny's head was destroyed by a large boulder), both of their bodies remained intact and they had planned to go to a different continent: Jonathan heading to America on a honeymoon with his wife Erina and Johnny to Japan (Although Johnny was able to reach his destination before he died) and neither of them were buried in their home land.
  • Furthermore, both Johnny and Jonathan's deaths involved decapitation, or the removal/destruction of the head, whilst attempting to protect one of their loved ones (Johnny using the Corpse parts for his ill wife Rina & Jonathan fighting off Dio to protect Erina & the baby she was holding.)
  • Unlike his original counter-part Johnny's body was given a proper burial after his death while Jonathan's body was used 100 years later by Dio Brando as his own body after the events of Phantom Blood .
